Why are we trying to save a crappy country that is little more than a narco state? Is the U.S. getting some cut from the heroin trade about which I don’t know?
“Is the U.S. getting some cut from the heroin trade about which I don’t know?”
For example, does Afghan drug profits support some off-the-books U.S. operations? Otherwise, I just can’t find any conceivable basis for the U.S. investing so much into a crappy plot of land which probably is a gateway directly to Hell.
I never bought this war on terror anyhow. I mean face it: if the terror threat were that real wouldn’t we make just a little effort to secure the borders? And yet thousands of miles along the Mexico and Canada borders are wide open (and our radar capacity on the Canadian border can’t even pick up low-flying aircraft in long stretches) and I think that suggests pretty convincingly the whole terror threat is a tad overstated.
